“Fall 2014: Welcome to my secret garden… My fall bridal collection celebrates romance with an heirloom quality. Femininity and sensuality runs throughout the collection. The fabrics are layers of tulle with an array of signature lace details. Embroideries are delicate in floral, lattice and vine motifs, colored in antique silver and rose-gold threadwork inspired by the timelessness of our secret garden. Silhouettes are molded with billowing skirts to bring out the goddess in our bride this season.” – Monique Lhuillier

The Hair Looks

Runway stylist Antonio Corral Calero, Moroccanoil Artistic Director, was inspired by the timeless beauty and poetry of the secret garden. Designing six different variations of braided looks Corral Calero created elegant feminine, romantic looks with an intriguing modern matte-texture.

“We wanted the girls to look like themselves, wearing updos with a romantic, soft and whimsical mood,” said Antonio. “The attention was on the matte texture of the hair and the intricate details of each braided bun, parted side or center, with minimal volume on top.”

How the Looks Were Created

Foundation

“First, I applied Moroccanoil Treatment from mid-length to ends.”

“Then, I sprayed new Root Boost throughout the entire head and began blow-drying while using my fingers to lift, detangle and separate strands.”

“To help detangle the hair while blow-drying I used a Moroccanoil Classic Boar Bristle Brush.”

“Once I made sure that the hair was entirely dry, I applied new Moroccanoil Molding Cream to provide additional texture, especially at the crown.”

"To create the final look I began by combing all of the model’s hair towards the back of her head. I used Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray Medium to control any fly-aways close to her face."

"Next, I divided her hair into three parts: right, left and back."

"The right and left parts were turned into feather braids. The back (middle) part was turned into a slightly back-combed ponytail."

"I then crossed the right braid with the left towards the back of the head, circling the back part until mid-ponytail."

"Next, the bottom part of the braid and ponytail were pinned inwards towards the nape to create the chignon."

"As a final step, to give the chignon a less tight, more romantic look, I gently pulled and opened elements of each braid within the chignon."
